I work in Stockport 3 times a week and tonight they are at home playing Barrow in what constitutes the Conference league so I fancied going along rather than sit in a hotel bar etc

£18 a ticket  :o

makes you appreciate VP a little more as value for money

When you compare the relative proportion of their income that comes from gate receipts it makes more sense. I think it's a tenner to get in at Sutton Coldfield Town for the same reason!

I thought £10- maybe £12 would have been reasonable but £18 I think is steep. And that is for all 4 areas of the ground its not like those are the expensive seats

Compare to Salford city who are in the actual League and it is £10 per game - I was going there instead but the game is sold out

Will watch in pub instead

That would be the same Salford city bankrolled by millionaires yes?

I'm not criticising your decision, I often think similar when I consider parting with £14 for a Tamworth game. But I do appreciate how much more urgently they need to generate money from tickets.

Pretty sure most Premier league clubs could survive comfortably just on TV money and merchandise sales. Hopefully the prices are reasonable in the pub you choose later!

There was a report a year or two ago that said rather than survive, half the Premier League would still be profitable if they let everyone in for free.

As long as the demand is there, they'll fleece fans for what they can get away with.

I'm not sure there's massive demand for Stockport v Barrow!

Hookey probably could've had a stand to himself!

Stockport are starting to rise again after a decade of misery (when I first started watching football in late 90s they were a solid mid table championship club and regularly beating Man. City).

Attendance tonight, 4,183. More than plenty of league cup ties I'd imagine.

About 10% of average PL revenue is gate receipts from normal seats, and it’s getting less. For non-league the opposite is probably true.

Conference clubs have the dilemma of either being full-time when they can't afford it or part-time and effectively saying they have no ambition. The only way to bridge that is to charge what might seem excessive prices.

My mate who is a Wednesday fan says the club uses this argument to justify their stratospheric prices at Hillsborough

If I worked for Sheff Wednesday if argue it was the cost of repairs on their ramshackle ground that drive ticket prices up!

It was like going to a match in a time machine last season. Even down to the tuck shop underneath the stand.

Aren't they actually subsidised by a Singaporean billionaire?
